I saw her outfit and thought rip-off of Navy Dress Whites. Didn’t like it at all.

And I hadn’t heard about the 5 biologicals thing. If true, not cool...not cool at all.

I agree with her stances on pretty much everything though.

“Romney is about to cry! It’s a good thing he has the audience stacked with all his wives!”

Perfect example of a Mormon hater. “All his wives”?

Even with all Romney's wives, it's still not as many as what Joseph Smith had and not as young either....

“I suspect Flaglady’s support of Mitt is mostly related to his religion, they are both LDS.”

LOL! As I just responded in another comment about one minute ago, I was raised Missouri Synod Lutheran, and half of my family is Catholic. You haven’t a clue what you are talking about, not even a half clue. Get a life.

Herman Cain IMHO survived the onslaught of his 9-9-9 plan. IMHO he needs to when challenged repeat what he said tonight. “Let America do the math” I would love to see someone walk into the ambush of “People are too stupid to count for themselves” Herman needs to do more Obama and Big Government bashing and spend less time defending his 9-9-9 plan. Again...”Don’t take my word for it, let Americans do the math”

Mitt Romney will not get my vote, if by some horrible consequence he is the GOP Nominee, I will hold my nose just to get rid of Obama. But come time for the primary here in Florida, Mitt does not have my vote. He is a polished debater, the consummate politician. He will win New Hampshire but little else.

Michele Bachmann lost my respect last debate when the one counter to Cain’s 9-9-9 was the “Devil is in the detail, turn 9-9-9 upside down” Debate the merits for crying out loud or go home.

Newt ia slowly climbing, he does well in the debates. his campaign needs a spark. Cain’s was the boldness of his plan. What will Newt have? But at the debates so far, he has been the Adult at the table.

Santorum. He gave Romney his 1st black eye of the debates, but then turns around and sounds so damn whiney. I think the GOP wants somebody tough and “tough” is not a label you would apply to him.

Perry. When he joined the race I had high hopes. But there is no other way to say it. HE SUCKS AT DEBATES. He doesn’t have the ability to think on his feet. I think he’s toast. And face it, are we ready for another President who cannot pronounce “Nuclear”? I do think if he ends up with the nomination the liberal media will be able to hang the GW Bush tag around his neck with some success.

Ron Paul. Bless is soul. I too would love to go back to a totally Libertarian model. But it is just not realistic. Half the nation lives off the government, you have to wean them off. They cannot go cold turkey. He has the ability to say some very good, even great things. Then the next moment he says something and your like.....:He said what!?!”

So after the Vegas Debates I think things will remain the same.

1. Herman Cain
2. Mitt Romney
3. Newt Gingrich
4. Rick Perry
5. Michelle Bachman
6. Rick Santorum
7. Ron Paul

I think Newt might climb a few more points and Perry and Bachmann will drop to single digits. But Herman survived another debate as the leader, but he needs to pivot from full time defense of 9-9-9. I still cannot imagine Mitt Romney winning any Primary state below the Mason Dixon line. Perry will have to make moves outside of the debates, becasue he sucks at debates. Bachman appears to lost all her mojo from the Iowa straw poll. What was with the sailor suit!?!? Bravo for Santorum for giving Mitt a hard time, but on the flip side he needs to butch up. And finally Ron Paul our favorite Uncle, you never know what he’s gonna say next.

I wish everyone, including Herman would be more like Newt.

You got little league and big league up there...the difference is so very obvious.

Well, then you may as well right in the name Obama. “ <<<

Yes. That has been discussed. That is how fed up many here are over the Republican contribution to socialism. Your guy is but one example. Four more years and perhaps, just perhaps, RINOs will get the picture. Hills are only taken with risk involved but being held hostage to a Romney cram down is not happening.

Other than Romney, Huntsman, and Obama, who running for President besides Newt believed in Man-Made Climate Change before the climategate emails?

One thing wrong with Cain's numbers is he claims individuals pay 18% payroll taxes. But in fact half is paid for by employers. Cain assumes that employers will just give the savings to the employees. But why should an employer who is paying as little as the law and/or market will allow give those savings to the employee? They won't. They will simply add it to their bottom line.

I'm going to be charitable and assume that Cain is just naively assuming that they will pass it on, and not intentionally misrepresenting his plan. But when he says low income workers will save 18% from no payroll tax, it just isn't true.

First I wasn’t one of the unpoputlar kids, second, this isn’t about abortion, although Mormons are much less Pro-life than the propaganda machine lets on, and third at least you got it right, I DO hate MormonISM, not Mormons.

BTW, do you know why Mormons have so many kids? The doctrine behind it?

I love Newt. He has an utterly fearless mouth and wisdom is his friend.

An amendment requiring proof of citizenship to partake in Obamacare was one of many that was repealed.

Let's not forget that muslims are exempt from purchasing Obamacare...thus how many people will convert to muslim to be excempt? Further we'll find the emergency rooms full of them when they do get sick...same ol crap!

Even if you aren't Mormon, if Mittens somehow claws his way into the candidacy, don't be surprised when a lot of us don't vote for him because we're tired of RINOs and because he's a Mormon. If it makes you feel better, call me a bigot, but I'm not going to apologize. I'll no more vote for Mitt Romney than I would for Barry Hussain Obama, and I'll no more vote for a Mormon than I would a Muslim or Scientologist.

The Feds are responsible for border security. We in Texas have done our best

You can try and sell that baloney but we all know Perry's efforts to secure the border, while enabling the influx of illegals, doens't get it. He's blowing wind out of both ends!

“I guess you can call it bickering if you want to - but I think Perry got some hard hits in there to Romney. Perry made some excellent points during the debate, especially his remark about de-funding the UN. He held his own & made Romney look like the lying sleaze that he is. This was Romney’s worst debate performance to date & that is mostly because Rick Perry bloodied him. “

Ah-that’s not how our conservative intelligencia saw it. Victor Davis Hanson over at NRO said Perry came off as “mean-spirited” and that Romney’s flash of anger, that didn’t hurt him at all. It was “sort of like Reagan’s ‘I’m paying for this’ moment.” Unbelievable, Romney can do no wrong I guess...

Your 23-33%% combined taxes is replaced by 18 percent, 9 in income, 9 in sales.

It’s not that hard to figure out.
